Many wonder why the brute creation ex-
eel mankind as a rule when it comes to a
question OF health. Investigation quickly
aseertains the cause. 1t is because the
brute naturally obeys every Law OF health,
while mankind is constantly degenerating
owing to excesses OF our ancestors and our
individual imprudence. Sudden exposure
to extreme climatic influences, gluttony,
improper food, alcoholic stimulants, over
exerti0n of mind and body, worriment,
anxiety, care, etc, all have a marked effect
on the human system. Be cured by using

matter how small the point or trivial the
advantage, | note it and experiment with

ordinary boatmen and chaps in yawls. A
lot of those 0little points put together
make the difference of seconds that lower
records. l think L have got down pretty
fine the art OF pulling a par of sculls With
the least labor, and that means endurance
and ability to keep up a steady pace III
long race. 1t is the art of making all the
muscles act together, so that one set may
not be called upon for more than its share
of work at any point, and making no effort
that does not help the
SPEED OF THE BOAT.
consequently never give out at any par
ticular point and my stomach never goes
back on me. When I'm tired, I'm all tired
and can't locate the exhaustion. | never
felt my heart beat but once in my life and
that was when q steamer ran be down. 1t
pounded for week after that. | never
had pain of any kind but once. Somehow
l got, while in Australia. the rheumatism
in the muscles of the left forearm that con-
troll the fingers In the race with Beach, [
lost my left scull five times through the
rheumatism, and twice | saw the handle of
the Scull three or four inches away from my
hand, but managed every time to recover
it and bring in the finish of the stroke even
with the right scull. Probably lost little
speed each time.
Il can tell by watching mans style just
where he will give out. Let any man get into
boat and pull three miles pretty hard, and
/ will tell you when he returns just where
he feels tired. You see l have rowed in
wrong positions just to find out those things
If man gives out in any particular place,
unless there is
SOME SPECIAL WEAKNESS,
it is because he doesn't use his strength
evenly and intelligently. Great strength is
not the only requisite for fast sculing.
Many OF the men whom [ have rowed down
are much stronger than | am. My weight
is 156 pounds. and height feet SO inches.
and most OF my antagonists have been six
fOOters weighing 200 pounds and more. A
Frenchman 7 feet inches high and weigh
ing 25O pounds, who thought he could row,
went over to Ireland and was beaten out of
sight by a little fellow who weighed only
125 pounds. No big-armed man is any
good in boat 1t is a curious fact that
boxers never make good oarsmen. After
they have rOwed a good distance at speed,
their arms begin to double up into the spar
ring position. The muscles have been
trained that way, and when tired will con-
tract into the habitual position so that the
arms cannot be Strengthened The men
with big. knotted arms are muscle bound.
l think it was Teemer who first told me
about the boxers. One winter he tried
sparring for exercise to keep himself in
condition. and when he resumed sculling
he found that his arms would stltfen in a
regular boxing attitude. The old notion
that
BIG, PUNCHED MUSCLES
mean that strength is played out 1t is the
long, straight. well-laid. supple muscle that
can do the most work. Sullivan has no
knots in his arms. He is round and smooth,
St. Paul daily globe., 1887-03-13

and he can use his strength quickly. l
haven't knot anywhere about me. All my
muscles are long, and never get muscle-
bound, and the circulation is never checked
by severe contraction. / never have used
dumb bells to any great extent, and [ can't
swing the clubs without knocking my head.
My exercise is rowing, and l have devel
oped my muscles in the work they are called
upon to do. 1t is all nonsense for an OARS
man to train his muscles with clubs and
boxing and all manner of exercises foreign
to his work. The way to learn how to
row fast is to get into a boat and row. If
you want to become singer you don't train
for it by beating a drum or turning flip
flaps. If a man wants to be first in any
particular line of athletics he must not try
to be all all-round athlete. The all-round
men are not first in any one thing. A cham
pion must be specialist.
THE BUILDERS.
Coming now to mechanical progress in
boating, it is necessary to say much about
the general improvement, as everybody
knows the builders are making lighter,
smoother and better boats than were thought
Of twenty years ago. Speed has been in
creased in that way, of course. The great
changes. besides making boats of paper
and reducing them to pencil proportions.
have been in making the sculls. Josh
Ward pulled with sculls that weighed
twenty-four pounds the pair. and as most
of the weight was outboard, he put lead
weights on the handles to balance them.
Now we use sculls that weigh only eight
pounds to the pair. Up to 1876 nobody
used scullS less than 10 Ieet inches long,
nor more than inches wide in the blade.
l showed up in a regatta with scullS 9 feet
6 inches long and 6 inches wide, and every
body said ''look at the kid with the big
sculls.' and laughed at me. After the race
everybody reduced the length and incl eased
the width of his oars. l had been studying
that thing little. The long scull has to
take
TOO WIDE A SWEEP
through the water. and to get the work
completed man must work too fast and
TOO hard. The first and last parts of the
stroke are of no use in propelling the boat,
but you must take the water forward of
the effective point and leave the water
astern of the limit OF useful power In order
to allow for the way Of the boat Too
long scull wastes more power than is
necessary in beginning and ending the
stroke. The longer the oar the more
strength it takes to pull it through the
water. But there is such thing as getting
the scull too short and sacrificing speed to
power. Experiment has shown the effec-
tive medium to be about nine feet six
inches. That gives speed without using
up mans strength in useless labor, and
the spoon shape keep the hold to the end of
the stroke. One day l was rowing on
lake when the water was smooth as glass
and perfectly clear and I watched the
blade of my oar for points. l noticed that
when 1 put my strength on the oar the
blade went back from the neck or shank to
such all angle that it was no longer spoon
but might just as we'll have been straight

thought did ten years ago, and yet l have
picked up good many little points since
then. If l should live to be 100 years old,
I wouldn't know it all. But I'll try to tell
you something. The most striking thing
that occurs to me is the steady improve
ment in sculling made during twenty years.
and the radical changes in method and style,
Before the sliding seat was introduced the
only way q sculler could get sufficient
length of stroke was by leaning and reach
ing we'll forward. Brown used TO double up
LIKE 4 JACK KNIFE
to take the water and he had to lean away
back to finish the stroke. Now man can
not exert his strength TO much advantage in
either of these positions. At the beginning of
the stroke he cannot bring his shoulders into
play; his strength is being used in getting
his body upright again. That style is per-
petual see-sawing of the body, using up the
wind, strength and time in violent move
ments that do not help the boat along a
bit, and it soon tires a man out. In the
old style races it was the ScullerS stomach
or heart that gave out, or his wind failed
him. If Brown had made three miles in
22:3O in the old style. it would have been a
great performance. Brown had good head
and he devised the sliding seat and then
old faults remained for some time. The
records will give all refer to three-mile
races. In 1865 Hamill made 1927, and
that held good until 1874, when boats were
built lighter and smoother, and then ONeil
lowered the record to 21:1919. In the same
year got it down to 21:0914 and Courtney
was cref tied with 20:141a in one of his
WONDERFUL. AiDNIGHT FEATs
in the dark of the moon. In 1888 Teemer
did make it 2O:14, and then Hosmer came
to the front with little more skill and
lowered the time to 20:0215. Two years
later Teemer had learned some more points
and made 2O:O11a at New Orleans. In
June. 1856, at White Bear Lake, Minn.,
Gaudaur gave surprise party by getting
the record down to 1854. That was good
until l rowed over the measured course on
Lake Quinsigamond twice in 1928 These
records are only the mile stones, you might
say. and they mark the different stages of
progress. Thames records are not accepted
for time because of the variable tides. For
example, Brightwell can be beaten easily
by several English Scullers. but he has the
fastest Thames record because he caught
an unusually swift tide and rowed with it.
So Thames time is of no value.
